Though they could labor not now in Christ's vineyard, they might do so by and by; though they might live to behold no fruit of their labors, they might, unknown even to themselves, have sown the good seed, and their children's children, and the children of heathendom might arise up and call them blessed. Della Lisle's life or rather Della St.
Millicent shivered from the cold as she sent a sharp cry ringing across the woods. This time it was answered, and she recognized the voice. Looking down, she could see Lisle's black figure moving cautiously along the ledge, for although the lower rocks were wrapped in shadow it is never altogether dark in the northern summer.
He remembered the men of the famous battalion who had marched from Marseilles to Paris singing Rouget de Lisle's famous song, and giving it their name, while they tore down an ancient kingdom. Doubtless, spirits no less ardent and fearless than theirs were here now.
He himself proposed Lisle's health, and the latter was obliged to return thanks. When he sat down, the general said: "It is clear, Mr. Bullen, that you have more presence of mind, when engaged with the enemy, than you have when surrounded with friends. It can hardly be said that eloquence is your forte."
Dorothy is suffering from the spleen, a disease as common to-day as then, though we have lost the good name for it. This and the ague plague her continually. My Lord Lisle's proposed embassy to Sweden is, we see, still delayed; ultimately Bulstrode Whitelocke is chosen ambassador.
"Not but what I've had an offer for it this very afternoon, since coming back. But it doesn't do to be too hasty. Respectable parties who pay regular," she nodded a little at Percival as if to point the compliment, "are the parties for me." "Of course," he said. "A queer business that of young Mr. Lisle's, wasn't it?" she went on.

"If that man had found a scrap of food, he would have tried!" Lisle's voice had a curious ring in it, and Nasmyth looked at him hard. "You seem convinced." "I am; I knew him well." Nasmyth was startled and he showed it, but afterward he looked thoughtful.
Below, near the foot of the moor, ran a straight dark line of firs, the one coldly-somber streak in the scene; but beyond it the rolling, sunlit plain ran back, fading through ever varying and softening colors to the hazy blue heights of Scotland. Lisle's companion noticed his intent expression. "It is rather fine up here," she conceded.
Gladwyne spent the first few days that followed Lisle's visit in a state of dread and indecision. He had allowed the Canadian to understand that he would endeavor to prevent Crestwick's being further victimized, but he had already failed to induce Batley to abandon the exploitation of the lad and he had no cause for believing that a second attempt would be more successful.
Ah, yes! to Glasgow; to be sure to Glasgow!" "To Glasgow, and to-morrow!" exclaimed the astounded cobbler. "No, no not Glasgow; they have removed," feebly rejoined Mr. Lisle. "But Lucy has written it down for me. True true; and to-morrow I shall set out." The strange expression of Mr. Lisle's face became momentarily more strongly marked, and Jennings, greatly alarmed, said, "You are ill, Mr.
